Work Wear Gets “Girly” for Spring 2013

Filed under: Prom 2013 — Tags: , , , , — sorsonel @ 8:57 pm

Long gone is the women’s corporate power suit when it comes to workplace trends on the agenda for spring 2013. One of the hottest looks will instead showcase femininity, rather than trying to hide it under bulky shoulder pads. Enter the belted floral dress.

Dress for Success in Belted Floral Frock

While the flowery frock has always been a staple for a casual brunch or weekend wear, the belted floral dress will be blooming as office wear, according to forecasting agency Mpdclick and noted on Fashionising.com. The silhouette of the go-everywhere dresses will feature a cinched shape but enough give to create a soft and feminine look. The most sought-after hemlines will hit right above the knee in a longer style than has been on trend for years past.

Because the belt is such an integral part of the overall look, matching or contrasting fabrics may be used to create a finished product that incorporates itself into the dress and, of course, may even be sold with the frock.

Shun the Button-Down for the Collarless Blouse

Another girly look coming to the office is the collarless blouse. It is a neckline that will also grace the belted floral dress. Fussy collars and button-downs are out, as is the option of donning a necktie. The collarless blouse can feature a higher neckline or one that dips but a soft, rounded shape is on spot in far anticipation of spring weather. Embellishments are allowed, such as soft frills for thrills; although you’ll want to keep away from anything that needs starch to keep it in place.

The blouse can work beneath a corporate suit jacket if necessary, with the ease of shedding the jacket after-hours for an immediately more casual look. The same goes for the floral dress, which can transform from corporate chic to casual fare with the quick swap of flats for a pair of no-nonsense heels.

Both super-feminine looks take their cue from styles in the Mediterranean, which produce a sensual and breezy mood. The Mediterranean movement will not be limited to fashion, either, as art and culture also follow suit for a fresh breath of style from the balmy destination

Shoes can make or break and outfit.  This season’s trend aim’s toward the pointy toed shoes!  Even though it is summer, celebrities on all the red carpets are sporting stilettos with fierce pointy toes.  Emma Stone has been caught on the red carpet tour for The Amazing Spider-Man wearing some sensational pointed shoes.  Gwen Stefani is never behind on her style.  She has some pointy toed high heels in her own L.A.M.B shoe collection and has been seen wearing them around town.   This shoe is getting hotter and hotter as summer goes on, so here is the low down on the wonderful pointy toed trend.

A stiletto that comes to a point can be flattering in many ways.  The first reason this look works is because it is a shoe style that elongates your legs.  You can be petite or tall and it will always make your legs looks stunning and longer than usual.  It will give you that extra inch, which will help you pull off more hemlines with your clothing choice.  Another reason that pointy toed shoes look fabulous is because they make a statement.  If you choose a high heel with a pointed toe, your shoes will pop!  You will catch everyone’s eye and it can make your outfit complete.  You can also find this style in a range of prices and colors.  If you are on a budget, you can pick up a pair of pointy toes for under $60.                                                                                       This is a shoe everyone can enjoy.

If you are afraid of this style shoe making your foot look too big, you’re wrong.  Be fashion forward next time you are shopping and choose a pointy toed shoe.  You can start with a basic color to work into your wardrobe, like nude or black.  Once you realize how awesome your pointed stilettos are you can work some funky ones in.  Step outside of the box with some neon’s, studs, or strappy pointed shoes.  Catch this trend because pointy toed shoes are poppin!

Cocktail dresses for prom

Filed under: Prom Advice — Tags: — sorsonel @ 3:38 pm

Prom is considered a semi-formal affair and most men wear a suit and tie or a tuxedo. The girls have a wide selection of attire from which to choose, and cocktail dresses are a great choice for many reasons. Short dresses for cocktail can be very elegant or sassy and longer cocktail dresses can be glamorous. Most body types can easily find a flattering style cocktail dress.
Many cocktail dresses are short, landing above the knee or even higher, so they are great for showing off long legs. Of course, a mini dress is paired very nicely with high heels, so this style also works for a petite girl. Petite girls should choose tea length or shorter if they seek an elongated appearance. Bustier girls may elect a strapless gown while a cocktail dress with spaghetti straps may appeal to a girl with a smaller chest. Different cuts can accentuate different body parts and body shapes, which is another reason why cocktail dresses are popular prom dress choices.
Sleeveless cocktail dresses can be paired with a matching wrap for more versatility and to ward off any chill without detracting from the look. You can also jazz up a simple cocktail dress with jewelry, such as arm bands, bracelets, and necklaces, depending on the cut of the dress. Drop earrings are very complimentary with a cocktail dress, especially for hair that is swept up for the evening. As mentioned earlier, high heels can balance a short dress and complete the look, especially if it is adorned with an ankle strap. Shoes can be glitzy, but the longer the dress length, the simpler your shoe should be.
Selecting the perfect cocktail dress for prom can be lots of fun. There are so many options for cocktail dresses today, from the simple little black dress to the short and frilly mini-dress, to the ballerina ankle length dress, that you are bound to find the perfect choice for your prom night or special event.
